Mango Landing is a small settlement on the Guyana side of the Wanamu River. Other settlements include Arau[2] and Kaikan village.[3][4] There is an airstrip that mostly serves miners working in the area.[5]

The Wenamu has been a part of the long territorial dispute between Guyana and Venezuela. In 2007, Venezuelan troops used C-4 (explosive) to destroy mining dredges illegally in their territory.[6] The Wenamu is also a crossing point for Venezuelan refugees entering Guyana.[7][8]
